We’re a beekeeping kind of Parish.
It’s relaxing for the beekeepers, and healthy for the bees.
And a few shots of favorite bee flowers also…
Well except for that beautiful rose.
365 Project
An elegant shrub; and an unfocused shot.
Joseph is our Church Cat, he keeps the mice at bay.
The Sacred Heart of Jesus. Formerly the home of a Tabernacle; prior to that an Altar dedicated to St. Joseph…
I have this thing snapping pics out the window from my iPhone while driving to the Church.
It’s a long drive through the woods, though pretty in fog.

I call it “Abbey Peacock” because it’s a picture of a peacock, over at the Abbey. Brilliant, I know.

This is our statue of St. Mary Magdalen, from this Palm Sunday.
It’s a beautiful statue, but the backdrop could use some work, because the cafeteria doesn’t really make for a very scenic panorama in the background here.
So, we’re working on that.
We considered bulldozing the cafeteria and installing a hardwood forest and a pond, but… you know how it is, change can be so difficult, and that’s a pretty big change. So we switched to plan B, which is maybe a nice cloth backdrop for Easter.
We’ll see what comes of this!

Lot’s of gardening going on, and lots of spring bugs making themselves at home… This pre-butterfly view of a caterpillar is pretty cool.

A few months back I took this shot of the old Charity Hospital.
It’s abandoned since Katrina, and there’s talk of using it for residential purposes. My grandmother learned nursing at Charity in the 20′s, in the old wooden buildings.
These buildings (or this building) has served since the building sprees during the great depression, and remains as an iconic sense of art deco architecture, and/or of loss, depending on how one looks at it. It’s huge, and inside the hospital is made of of long wards in many areas. Covered in mildew, and rotting at the seams, it stands as a silent witness to indecision.
But why not look at the bright side: it’s got lots of potential.

City Hall.
You can’t fight it. But you certainly admire it’s majestic beauty.
Can’t you?
This guy. He just talks to the pedestal all day.
It makes one wonder… and give thanks for life’s blessings.

The 365 Project continues.
I snapped some photos through the day, and the big things happening today were a fiesta for Fr. Bob, who is the alumni of the year at Holy Cross School, and the Saints game.
This red tree is down the street from a friend’s house where I watched the Saints game. Dunno why it’s red. Didn’t want to ask when they came out to marvel at my taking a picture of it. Didn’t have any other pics to post, even though I tried to make this a bit interesting and artsy. I tried!
I was tempted to use this. It’s a light bulb that reminds me of an old TV show from the 60′s called the Prisoner. There’s a huge white bulb type thing which comes up from the sea, and… that’s about all I remember because I never did like the show. For some reason it also reminds me of Dr. Who.
But, the Red Tree it is for today’s exercise.
Shalom.

Well we can see what happened here.
I took a picture Wednesday night, posted it Thursday on my 365project site, and am just getting around to posting it here tomorrow. That is, today, because yesterday today was tomorrow, but now it’s history. Of course.

Today’s photo for the 365 Project is my stupendous capture of a coffee mug. Isn’t beautiful, noble and grand? Yes, I know. Thank you, thank you!
Today is actually the first day of the project. The photo I uploaded yesterday wasn’t actually taken yesterday, and the exif data clearly reflects that. There’s no fooling anyone over at the 365 Project with silly post dating of photos!

I’m diving into the 365 Project, ready or not.
I call it “Progress, not Perfection.”
Winter’s been on the mild side and the flowers are loving it. A photograph a day will help develop some sort of skills aside from basic portraiture and snapshots (perhaps.) And it’ll be a fun little slice of priestly life on my sad little website.
